Micron Idaho Semiconductor Manufacturing (Triton) LLC
Monitor the health of assigned processes, ensuring high-quality output, and provide proactive redundancy plans for bottlenecks that could impact Fab cycle time (CT) or turns. Collaborate with shift teams to resolve tool process issues and maximize tool output. Collaborate with supervisor and area leaders to create personal performance and development goals. Communicate proactively with MDE shift and Shift Ops leaders on daily priorities and issues. Attend and participate in DAM, TPM Teams, SPC, Transfer, and other meetings. Collaborate with Equipment Engineers and shift Engineers/Technicians to gather input for area improvement. Communicate changes made to equipment and follow business rules for change control. Collaborate with HVMs in data collection, gap analysis, and improvement implementation as part of benchmarking and transfer activities. Proactively communicate issues that could cause yield loss, excursions, defects, tool restrictions, or output loss. Coordinate with Process Development Engineering, Process Integration, and Shift Ops on process issues and changes. Collaborate with Shift Ops, SOT, and the IE team to ensure existing process holds are minimized. Communicate known impacts of special processing requests and potential process holds to Shift Ops and SOT Area Managers. Write and modify recipes to enable efficient tool processing and experimentation. Analyze data to make critical decisions and drive cost-reduction activities. Resolve CT/capacity-related issues in the area (redundancy, target reduction, sample plans, RPT issues, etc.). Monitor equipment usage and production efficiency to ensure maximum output and turns. Provide QDR documentation and proactive follow-up on issues. Respond to chronic SPC performance issues by driving to fix root causes. Provide troubleshooting support for complex process problems and address root causes. Ensure the quality process of daily operations, communicate process holds, and formulate action plans. Maintain matching and drives for process consistency. Effectively plan for required capacity and product mix by ensuring equipment is capable of running variance as projected. Provide effective and timely guidance to resolve equipment issues and be highly engaged in key problem resolution. Manage projects to ensure deliverables are completed within the required scope, schedule, and budget. Track actions and provide escalation paths or resources to ensure actions are completed on time. Drive shift teams to focus on priority issues and stay within project scope. Coordinate and lead meetings and initiate follow-up actions. Support department business processes for new tool installations, as well as existing tool modifications or removals. At least 10% of international travel is required for short-term training at other Micron sites.
